This year, the CESA Aon Engineering Excellence Awards, will once again, be hosted virtually on Wednesday, 10 November. CESA is hosting this annual event with the support of Aon South Africa, a strategic partner and platinum title sponsor of the event for the past 22 years. The CESA Aon Engineering Excellence Awards provide a platform to showcase the important role that infrastructure plays in the sustainable development and delivery of basic services to society.

Chris Campbell, CESA CEO states, “2021 is the 49th year that we are celebrating the ground-breaking achievements of our Member Companies through our prestigious CESA Aon Engineering Excellence Awards.

These awards celebrate the engineering excellence that our industry brings to our society, serving to protect lives through quality infrastructure and contributing to preserving the livelihoods of many of the people in the built environment value chain and related industries” says Campbell.

Through these awards CESA celebrates consulting engineers and their clients, who are the drivers of economic growth through the design and development of value-for-money infrastructure aimed at improving service delivery and in turn contributing to the upliftment of communities, alleviation of poverty and unemployment in line with the aims of our Government’s National Development Plan in alignment with the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals.
